I have been assured and assured they bolt straight on, plus there's plenty of clearance behind the Speedlines too.

Can't be bothered painting them red, I'll just match up the R32/S3 rears when I lay my hands on some instead. I just want them on and smashing my face into the windscreen like yesterday.

Yes, we need to get a brew and have a good listen to your 'zorst too. I'll work out a crude, non scientific test plan - something involving a sprayed line and a trundle wheel maybe?

Yeh give us a shout when there on, i am heading your way soon visiting MR Votex maybe

Aesthetically (bet you can't spell that MR TC! It's "surname" not "sir name"!!) those new AlcoStoppies look very good with your speedline alloys - You don't need red calipers imo.

No but i can spell this   

They are looking sweet Mike.

They look great! I think they would look good painted blue - to match the colour of the text in the centre cap of the wheels.

Charcoal grey, I like the design of the discs, different

....

Leave them colour as is - They look far more functional and purposeful IMO.

I'm most likely six minutes away from chundering warringtons finest....  But f*** me do they stop hard! They'll get better apparently too..

[RedRobin]

But f*** me do they stop hard! They'll get better apparently too..

....Meaning that they grab? Or that you haven't got used to more direct pedal response?

What do you mean "they'll get better"?

why did you post this at 4 am and what does it mean   

[RedRobin]

....I really do hope that you're saying you'll be drinking Warrington's finest AFTER you're home and not driving having already consumed a skinful which you are soon about to chunder



Apologies if I've misinterpreted your post but it wasn't clear.

[tony_danza]

God no, I don't drink and drive.

I'd been out on the lash and had a quick nosy at the forum on the iphone when I got in whilst eating... well, I think it was a burger? I don't make sense at the best of times, never mind when drunk.

I've bedded them in yesterday somewhere nice and quiet, and to do so you have to make 6 stops from 60 pressing increasingly harder on the pedal. Then drive for a few minutes at 50 to cool them down. On the last stop which was as hard as I could press the pedal I was pulling on the locked seatbelt, such was the force.

Pedal is very progressive indeed, not hard to use them in traffic at all. Power is very strong though. The instructions state I have to wait for around 250 miles for the build up of material on the new discs to be fully ready for hard (track) usage, so they can only get better.
